Other ingredients:

1/4 cup Stir-Fry Sauce (see recipe below)
1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Stir Fry Sauce (makes 1/2 cup):

2 tablespoons beef bouillon
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dark molasses
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup cool water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Dash of black pepper

STEPS

In advance:

  1. For the Stir Fry Sauce, combine all ingredients in a saucepan and boil gently, uncovered for 5 or more minutes until sauce is reduced to 1/2 cup. When cooked, pour into a lidded jar and keep in the refrigerator. Stir before using.

For the stir-fry:

  1. Wash and chop selected vegetables into small, evenly sized pieces.
  2. Heat vegetable oil over high heat in a 10-inch frying pan, electric skillet, or wok.
  3. Keeping the heat high, add vegetables to the pan in order of firmness- harder foods first and ending with the softest foods.
  4. Toss vegetables during cooking to keep them from sticking to the pan. When stir-frying, vegetables should still be crisp and retain their bright color.
  5. Add 1/4 cup Stir Fry Sauce to the pan. Stir-fry until all vegetables are thoroughly coated. Serve with starch of choice.
